Why I won’t apologise to Okpebholo — Davido

Afrobeats artist Davido, also known as David Adeleke, has stated he will not apologize to Edo State Governor Monday Okpebholo for sharing what appeared to be the governor's West African Examinations Council (WAEC) results on his social media. In an interview with News Central, the singer explained that he merely informed people about the academic record of Edo State's governor.

Okpebholo questioned Adeleke's leadership style while campaigning for the All Progressives Congress candidate, Bola Oyebamiji.
